System and method for controlling machine

A control system for controlling a swing system and a plurality of systems operatively coupled to a power source of a machine, the control system comprising:

• an inertial measurement unit configured to generate data pertaining to a rotation of an upper carriage of the machine relative to a work surface;
• and
• a controller communicably coupled to the swing system, the plurality of systems and the inertial measurement unit, the controller configured to:
• determine data pertaining to a rotation of the upper carriage relative to an undercarriage of the machine based on the data generated by the inertial measurement unit, wherein the swing system performs rotation of the upper carriage relative to the undercarriage;
• determine an amount of torque consumed by the swing system, the amount of torque being received by the swing system from the power source,
• wherein the amount of torque is determined based on the data pertaining to the rotation of the upper carriage relative to the undercarriage;
• determine a total torque demand based on the amount of torque;
• and
• adjust the total torque demand, when the total torque demand exceeds a maximum torque capacity of the power source,
• wherein adjusting the total torque demand includes reducing a particular amount of torque to be received from the power source by one or more systems of the plurality of systems;
• and;
• wherein determining the total torque demand includes:
• determine a second amount of torque received, from the power source, by one or more active systems of the plurality of systems;
• determine a third amount of torque required to operate one or more inactive systems of the plurality of systems when a request to activate the one or more inactive systems is received;
• and
• determine the total torque demand based on the first amount of torque, the second amount of torque and the third amount of torque.
